#ARDOP error Build a Pi
#ardop
I have a Pi5 that I am using to for the Build a Pi.? I receive the following when following the ARDOP install in the Pi 4 build notes:
wz4ctx@mobilepi:~ $ cd ~/ardop
wz4ctx@mobilepi:~/ardop $ ./piardopc 8515 plughw:2,0 plughw:2,0
bash: ./piardopc: cannot execute: required file not found
What file is it missing?
Up to this point,? I have everything in the notes working, I have a Digirig hooked to the Pi, but no radio hooked up at this point. Thx, Mike WZ4CTX 73

Re: GPS / winlink issue with 73linux & bookworm 64 bit
I am assuming. line 8 of manage-pat-functions file in the patmenu2 folder as the environment variable is null?
opened a issue for tracking as well?

Re: GPS / winlink issue with 73linux & bookworm 64 bit
Kelly,
Thanks for the input. I rummaged around the pat files and couldn't see which file to make the change. Honestly, I know enough about this to just be dangerous, and I feel like I am very close. So which file will I find the PATCONFIG= variable in to change. Thanks in advance ? -- Mike WB8ERJ
Geeze! What is he up to now?

I¡¯m not sure whereis will help, but if you are sure BPQ (an app I¡¯m not
familiar with) is running you can run:
ps | grep BPQ
(check case, may need bpq)
and confirm the exact full process name. Use that exact name in the
conky if_running command. If the ps command doesn¡¯t find any such
process running then conky¡¯s if_running won¡¯t either.

Re: Kenwood TH-D74 bluetooth connection to Pi
I went back and disconnected the two bluetooth devices (the radio and a keyboard). ?I also removed the radio from bluetooth. ?(reminder running Raspberry Pi 4, 64 bit Bookworm)
To pair radio, I used the terminal and Bluetoothctl command. ?(scan on, saw the TH-D74, copied MAC address and paired to it, then used the TRUST command for the MAC address). ?Note, in Bluetoothctl, it said it was paired but then moment later said it was not connected, but this did not impact the Trust command and no error messages. ?Exit Bluetoothctl. ?Using "sudo rfcomm connect 0 'Mac Address' 1" ?I was able to make the com port. ?Under the Bluetooth icon in the menu bar, the TH-D74 now shows green and is connected.
I can know close the connection, but go back to it by just issuing the rfcomm connect command again. ?TH0-D74 is set to auto connect. ?But.....
I don't seem to be able to get any data transfer between the radio and the computer. ?Radio interface is set to Bluetooth for KISS TNC, radio is in the KISS 12 mode, and packet are being heard by the radio. ?But, when connected to YAAC vial rfcomm0, no data transfer either to or from the radio/computer. ?I did notice that the bluetooth icon on the radio is not blue but gray, indicating bluetooth is not active, perhaps. ?The radio is connected to the computer because if I turn the radio off, the computer "hangs up" the connection. ?I seem to be missing a step. ?Any ideas?

SO it APPEARS that all is well, but I am still getting the same result. That is, when I go into Manage Pat Winlink and try to either set grid by GPS or manually, it appears to have done so but it really hasn't. Evidenced by going into Find Winlink Gateways and do a search, no gateways show up.
Additionally, in the main PAT menu, where the grid is supposed to show up it is blank. - see attached.
One possible clue, during the run of 73.sh? an error was thrown when pat was installed. I was able to capture it:
Reading package lists...
jq: error: Could not open file /pat/config.json: No such file or directory

Geeze! What is he up to now?
Mike,
You can manually set the grid in the Pat Configure file. Run:
pat configure
and you will find where to add it near the top of the file. Just be careful in this file as json is very picky about syntax. One comma out of place will corrupt the file. Backing up first is a good idea. To find where your config file lives, run:
pat env

Re: Random issues I've been coming across this week - multiple boards
Man, I've got 5 Pi4s all running Buster like gangbusters! every time I tried new versions of Raspbian (and especially the 64 bit versions) I had problems like you're having. Of course Buster isn't supported anymore but it's working good for me.
I'm trying three different builds to see what type of board PC I want to use in a go box with a Xiegu G90 as my main POTA kit. All other hardware is a Digirig and the same screen.
First board: Le Potato == Installed their build of Raspbian, then 73 Linux. The first time I try to TX on any app, radio locks up with 0W TX
Second PC - Dell Inspiron I had lying around - Ubuntu 22.04 with 73 Linux - Can't install JS8Call and wsjt-x at the same time due to repo conflicts
Third board - RasPi 4B 4GB with 64bit Raspbian and 73 Linux - Fldigi is extremely slowing down the machine.
I don't want to use a laptop as my main POTA machine, so I'm going to work on figuring out what the issue is with the Pi 4 first. I'm not seeing much about Fldigi slowing down on Pi 4, but I'll throw a separate thread out for it.

Re: GPS / winlink issue with 73linux & bookworm 64 bit
There have been a lot of changes in bookworm including Python I assume you need to install gps and maidenhead for python (pip3 install maidenhead --break-system-packages)? imo forget ruby all together? I keep a script to update all the config files here, has some tips for install?

Moving forward with a reinstall
I've been away from BAP for a while and just plugged it back in to find the wireless interface is missing.? Not sure how that happened but I'd like to get it up and running again.? It's an RPi 3b.? I've followed along a bit and it seems BAP is no longer being developed but I get the feeling the 73linux install is for RPi4's and above.
Can anyone set me straight and give me some guidance on what I should be looking at for a Pi 3b running xastir and Pat and not much more.
Thanks

Re: Can¡¯t get Xastir to install
Try a?sudo apt-get install -y libmotif-dev

Re: Can¡¯t get Xastir to install
Larrie
First things first:
open a terminal then run this command? sudo apt-get purge xastir .
this will remove all installation instances and dependencies for xastir
reboot and try to reinstall with 73Linux
good luck

Re: GPS / winlink issue with 73linux & bookworm 64 bit
OK I'm stuck. I can't figure out what I am missing. To recap, cgps works fine, but Pat doesn't save my grid. When I select Manage Winlink and select Get Grid from GPS, it correctly sees the GPS and reports my grid - its grayed out, but its there. This is what I have done so far:
When the 73linux?script told me that Ruby needed to be installed, I told it to install Ruby. In order for Conky to report my grid I had to install the following:
sudo apt-get install ruby-dev sudo apt-get install rubygems ?sudo gem install sudo gem install gpsd_client sudo gem install maidenhead sudo gem install json I'm also wondering if I could just add my grid to some configuration?file so I could move forward with Winlink for now at least. ? -- Mike WB8ERJ
Geeze! What is he up to now?
Finally getting back to this GPS issue - progress!! Kelly, thanks for your input. It's greatly appreciated. I was able to search the BAP forum and I think I found what you are referring to.
First, for some reason, Ruby wasn't installed when I ran the 73linux?script.? No big deal I though, so I just?did a sudo apt-get install ruby and moved on.
For reference, here is what I have found so far. I was able to get the grid square to display in conky by running the following:
sudo apt-get install rubygems
sudo gem install gpsd_client
sudo gem install maidenhead
I also read somewhere someone added this too. So I did as well. Not sure if it's needed though. git clone
So all of the above gets my conky to display my grid. Now when I try to set my grid square in Pat Menu, it doesn't seem to save it.
When I click on GPS grid update, it shows my grid. When I click on Update Pat, it appears to save but it really doesn't. Same with Manual Grid Update. Also on Pat's main menu grid is normally displayed in the lower left corner but nothing is there. Thanks in advance for your help! ? -- Mike WB8ERJ
